This topic covers science news and encourages high-quality questions and discussion about anything interesting. Although you don't have to be an expert (or scientist!) to contribute to the discussion, we'll try to keep to a general rule of preferring logic, reason and subject knowledge over guessing and extended speculation.

And no, "creation science" isn't science, nor is it welcome in this topic. Sorry, but them's the breaks; +fairytales is just around the corner. :
